Our Programs
The MCHA Tuesday Program is a unique element of our MCHA homeschool group activities. During the school year, MCHA offers a weekly Tuesday afternoon (12:30pm-3:30pm) co-op program. We meet to provide our children with the opportunity to:
​​
-
Learn how to play team sports in a formal gym setting.
-
Learn new skills not normally feasible in a one-family school.
-
Take direction from other adults and foster respect for others.
-
Socialize and build friendships with other homeschooled children.
-
Develop connections and provide support for parents.
​
Every Tuesday afternoon, each age group cycles through social time or free play, gym class, devotions, and a lesson or elective class. Electives offered each year vary by age and depending on the make-up of our co-op community. Some of the classes taught by volunteer parents have included the following:
electronics, knitting, yearbook, drama, chess club, website design, sensory science, outdoor skills, choir, and debate club.
​
If you are interested in the Tuesday Program, please contact MCHA at mchawelcome@gmail.com for registration information.
